Jet Ski Tour - Had an amazing tour of the island with Troy as our guide. Troy was super nice and helpful in showing us how to operate the jet ski. He was also very knowledgeable of the island. Really enjoyed our time and would definitely book again!

Fantastic tour with awesome guides! Highly recommend! - My husband and I vacationed in South Padre Island in February. We were a bit apprehensive about taking a jet ski tour in chilly weather but we don't regret it a bit! Our guides Aaron and Devin were so interesting and funny that we forgot it was windy and in the 60s. We saw dolphins and pelicans everywhere. Getting to see the Space X launch pads and hovercraft was awesome. Took the jet skis to a wide open area so we could fly across the water! Easily my favorite part of the vacation so far! Highly recommend if you love the water!

Fun on Jet Skis! - We took the jet ski tour in early February. It was a fun tour and our guide Anavey was and awesome host for our tour. We rode around just past the wake free zone and gradually went faster. She showed us several different spots but it was very hazy so you couldn't see very far. The water in the bay was smooth and saw tons of dolphins up close. She took us out into the gulf which was rare I guess because usually the water is to rough. Then back to the bay for tons of free riding and watching her tricks!

Great tour - Check in process was very smooth. Machine ran well. Dustin was a great guide! He gave a quick tutorial at the beginning that made me feel confident running a Jet ski when I haven't a ton of recent experience. He was quite knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We saw a ton of dolphins! There were a couple in the bay that were leaping in the air. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Dustin for a great tour.

Nice - Devon was lovely and considerate. The place had a cardboard cut-out of Trump. Cool if you’re into that, a warning if you’re not.

Would not work with me. - If you have anything come up and would like to reschedule or would like to transfer to another activity they will not do it. I booked this for my husband for his birthday. We had gone out the night before with some family to celebrate. We are planning to get a taxi and head to our hotel when we witnessed a horrible accident in front of Kelly’s and Casa Bella hotel. We ran over there trying to help the people in the accident, calling 911, and making sure that the people injured were staying still. By the time that we made it back to the hotel and was finally trying to go to sleep it was about 4:30-5 in the morning. The appointment was at 9 but me and my husband were both physically and mentally exhausted. I called and asked them if I could reschedule for a later time or a later date. I was told no. I had told them what had happened but they did not care. I got off the phone with them and then my husband tried calling them and asking if we could transfer our booking to a cheaper excursion. We were charged the full amount of the jet ski tour ( about $380) and they would not let us use the jet skies for 20 minutes, or any of there other excursions. I believe the jet ski tour was the most expensive item they had and we were not able to get anything out of it. I understand that it was with in the 24 hours of the booking, but I had planned for us to go to the hotel and go to bed and have enough sleep to get up and enjoy our excursion. What had happened was horrible and tragic but they had no sympathy. They would not work with us at all.

Extremely disappointed - We had worst experience and would not recommend this place. We took jet ski and the boat engine was too slow from the beginning and out of fuel in between. The guide told that mud got stuck and said that we didn't follow his directions which is completely false as it was like that from beginning. He said he don't want to issue refund but willing to give one more ride next time which is ridiculous. Better to explore different places for better service.
